Accenture and Apptio announced a partnership to provide PPL Corporation, a U.S. utility that serves more than 3.6 million customers, with a new technology financial management platform that automates reporting and delivers real‑time financial data.
The platform will enable PPL to make faster, smarter decisions about technology investments and accelerate its shift to cloud‑based infrastructure, AI, automation and advanced analytics, helping the company modernize legacy systems and build a more flexible, scalable technology stack.
The alliance aligns with Accenture’s “reinvention partner of choice” strategy and strengthens its presence in the utilities sector. It also leverages Apptio’s leading TBM and FinOps capabilities, and builds on Accenture’s recent acquisitions of Maryville Consulting Group, Advocate, and Strongbow, which have expanded its technology financial management expertise.
PPL’s modernization effort is a key part of its “utility of the future” strategy. By integrating the new platform, PPL can gain deeper insight into technology spend, improve cost discipline, and accelerate the adoption of cloud, AI and automation across its operations.
Dean Del Vecchio, Executive Vice President of Technology and Innovation at PPL, said, “Our recent work with Accenture is another step in our strategy to create the technology‑enabled utilities of the future. We’re using Apptio solutions to unlock deeper insights into our technology investments as we work to drive innovation, modernize the grid and deliver greater value to our customers and employees.”
Ajay Patel, General Manager at Apptio, added, “Accenture’s deep expertise in technology financial management and Apptio’s leading TBM and FinOps capabilities are enabling organizations like PPL to transform with confidence. Together, we’re empowering technology leaders to make bold modernization investments while maintaining financial discipline.”
